Actually, the bartPE CD and the UaXPCD *ARE* 2 separate things (and both have a I386 folder, although quite different one from the other).
You can have your UaXPCD folder wherever you want: on the bartPE disk or on a partition of your HD, or on a USB drive or on a remote share that you connect to, etc.
Installing windows from BartPE is then just a matter of running winnt32.exe from where it is (in your UaXPCD folder).

In my case, I have a (almost-)normal bartPE CD. On it I have a script that connects to a network drive:
<!--c1--><!--ec2-->and then run winnt32.exe from where it is on Z:
<!--c1--><!--ec2-->
That's all! (well no, the whole thing is more sophisticated than this, with a lot of cool scripts to automate and customize things, but ultimately, it breaks down to this).
I'm running it like this since months.

If your UaXPCD folder is on the bartPE disk (X:) then you don't need the 'NET USE ...' command and would just run:
<!--c1--><!--ec2-->(Not tested) You may even not need the '/tempdrive:c:' option in this case.

For the $OEM$ thing, the point not to forget (at least when making a local source) is:
either put the $OEM$ folder INSIDE I386, or use OEMFilesPath=..\$OEM$ in the [Unattended] section of winnt.sif

Sfatul meu e sa nu-ti iei masina, decat daca ai musai nevoie de ea. Daca te-ai obisnuit sa te descurci fara ea, mai bine pune banii la banca, ca dobanda acuma e bunicica.

Daca totusi vrei sa-ti iei masina, gandeste-te la urmatoarele lucruri:
1. masina nu e o investitie, e o cheltuiala. Se va devaloriza constant, niciodata n-o sa-i creasca valoarea ca s-o vinzi in profit.
2. in afara de combustibil, ai o gramada de costuri. Impozit, RCA, consumabile (ulei, filtre, placute, bucse, etc etc). Din ce am observat io empiric, o masina te costa anual cam 10% din pretul ei -- repet, fara a calcula combustibilul.
3. stilul de viata ti se va schimba. Nu radical, dar se va schimba. Daca mai ai si un job sedentar si un stil de viata ne-sportiv, o sa faci burta, sau o sa te doara spatele, etc etc. Mersul pe jos, chiar daca e pe frig sau canicula, face bine la sanatate.
